The MV 'Tali', which was en route from Cuxhaven to Tau, encountered a fire in its engine room while anchored off Stavanger on August 7, 2025, at 8:48 PM local time. With a crew of 14 aboard, the vessel was positioned at coordinates 58°49.58'N 5°28.42'E at the time of the incident. In response to the emergency, a pilot boat from the Norwegian Coastal Administration, along with police vessels and civilian craft, stood by as a precautionary measure. At 10:10 PM, specially trained firefighters were transported to the scene via a rescue helicopter from Sola. By 11:00 PM, the fire was successfully contained, allowing the pilot boat to depart.

Towing operations commenced at 6:50 AM, and the 'Tali' was safely docked in Mekjarvik, Stavanger, by 9:45 AM UTC.

A crew member of the vessel 'Tali' has gone missing following its departure from Kokkola port on March 30, 2017, at 6:50 p.m. The alarming situation came to light during a routine watch change. This prompted immediate action from the Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre (MRCC), which initiated a search and rescue (SAR) operation in the Gulf of Bothnia. The operation features a collaborative effort between Finnish and Swedish maritime rescue teams, alongside the 'Tali' and several other ships. Notably, the 'Tali' is manned by a dedicated team of 16 crew members.
